US consumer confidence deteriorated in January after US households found the current economic situation worse – according to the regular monthly survey of the Michigan University whose preliminary results were published on Friday.

The consumer mood index dropped to 94.4 points from the 95.9 points of December, while analysts expected 97.0 points.

Among the sub-indices, the consumer expectations for the next six months increased from 84.3 to 84.8, while the sub-index reflecting the current situation declined from 113.8 to 109.2 points, to the lowest level since November 2016. (MTI)
